Yeah, but it'd be worth the wait:D

Those skateboard veneers came out great Andrew.
Look forward to seeing the finished products.
Haven't been able to spend quality time on the forum lately - work, busy, exhausted, repeat. But I've really enjoyed coming here when I get a few minutes and seeing what you guys have been creating and figuring out, even if I haven't had a chance to leave comments.
Gasman, I think Euclid gives good counsel on the satin finish. I've spent quite a bit of time learning to do it (and still learning) and it's not easy but can turn out quite good. Sometimes I have to redo the finish several times. This thread was helpful for me figuring things out http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...in-finish.html
I used the method mentioned in that thread on this Hargreaves, Smith & Co. Imperial razor
Hmmm... might have to pull this one out for a shave, been a while
Wow! Xiaotuzi that is impressive that finish.

I have very few vintage razors that could hold a mirror finish, and as a result have worked on trying to get my satin down pat many many times. That one crooked set of lines kills me every time. There is a fine line between a great satin with a nice glow and a scratchy finish. Maybe I need some hands on in person lessons at the next meet I go to. Perhaps I will have to find some regrind candidates too, as that is the other skill I would like to know more about.
@xiaotuzi thats a beautiful finish. Id love to co.e out with something like that. But sense im trying to hide some pitting im afraid its just not going to look right. Tha ks for the pic and the link. Ill read it in a bit.
THAT is almost impossible for me to do. Sanding completely straight takes talent. :tu
My sort of 'frosted' finish on a Genco. Still takes lots of time.

The irony with a good satin finish is that it's 9/10ths away from a mirror finish :)
